Friendly mod reminder not to eat things on the advice of strangers on the internet.

Is it safe to eat?

Only one way to find out, let us know how it goes!

Honestly, it just looks like some surface punctures/abrasions that dried up, at least the ones on past peppers looked about like that. I’d check it for pests once you’re inside but it should be fine to cut around those bits and enjoy.

To me, those look like bug bites. I can tell you it is not late blight. If the rest of the plant has issue, it might be alternaria canker: https://plantpath.ifas.ufl.edu/u-scout/tomato/alternaria-stem-canker.html

I am not an expert. I’m surely missing other possibilities. I expect it will look good on the inside, and if so, I would eat it, but I am not known for my food safety in matters like this.

A likely culprit may be stinkbugs feeding if they’re common in your area. The wounds on the fruit don’t look like hornworm or fruit worm damage I’ve seen. There may be other egg-laying pests in your region, so if anything is off about it inside the fruit please don’t eat it.

Hell no that isn’t safe to eat!

How did you ancestors survive for 5 billion years with instincts like that?

It looks like it’s sprouting. Some hasty internet research says that a sprouting tomato is safe to eat but might not taste its best.

If that is common in your area, I would probably go with grow tent as my next step.

For what it’s worth I’d never buy that at a store. I love tomatoes and I’m super-picky about them.
